Book Description
This engaging study returns to a truly remarkable year, the year in which both Ulysses and The Waste Land were published, in which The Great Gatsby was set, and during which the Fascisti took over in Italy, the Irish Free State was born, the Harlem Renaissance reached its peak, Charlie Chaplin's popularity crested, and King Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered. In short, the year which not only in hindsight became the primal scene of literary modernism but which served as the cradle for a host of major political and aesthetic transformations resonating around the globe. In his previous study, the acclaimed Dialect of Modernism (OUP, 1994), Michael North looked at the racial and linguistic struggles over the English language which gave birth to the many strains of modernism. Here, he expands his vision to encompass the global stage, and tells the story of how books changed the future of the world as we know it in one unforgettable year.

Facets of Life
Author: Heather Mitchell
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662463774
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Life is but a splendorous ethereal jewel—sparkling brilliantly as it spins throughout time and space. Each of its countless colorful facets represents a memory, fleeting feeling, or thought. There is no better way to capture a finite moment in time, emotion, or personal revelation than with a poem. This carefully compiled collection of chronologically arranged pieces contains inspirational and introspective poems in a variety of formats and styles. It is the second in what will hopefully be a series. The first volume is titled Heart, Mind, and Soul, containing autobiographical poetry by the author Heather Mitchell, written between ages thirteen and twenty-six. This volume, Facets of Life, picks up from that point, spanning ages twenty-seven through forty-four. Although still autobiographical, these increasingly complex poems are much more introspective and thought-provoking as the author ages, further matures, and faces many unusual trials, yet somehow finds the inner strength to not only survive but to persevere. This book is sure to encourage self-reflection and personal growth. Readers may also find insights to which they can relate or take comfort in knowing that others share similar seemingly insurmountable trials, thus helping them feel less alone. Facets of Life is perfect for those seeking to explore their inner selves, face hidden demons, and most importantly, celebrate their own uniqueness.

Transitions in Life and to Death
Author: Frederick Douglas Harper
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1434303373
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
"Zohar and the Fox-girl" is the story of a young American intelligence officer who is forced to make a decision during the Korean war that will follow him for the rest of his life. But it is not a war story, for the war is only the stage in which the tale is set. Love is the theme. But love can come in different forms that might conflict with each other. The story has fantasy but is not science fiction, for its magical metaphors are literary devices within a tale of love and sadness. With a little reimagination the reader might see some of his or her own conflicts. All the while, lurking behind the scenes, are the Korean god, Hanunim, and the Korean devil, the Magwee. They have made a Jobian bet on what Zohar might do if given a second chance. A magic mountain, a god, a devil, and a fierce love affair are mixed with history and myth. In the Hebrew language Sefer Zohar means "Book of Splendor" and that translation fits well for our protagonist is a writer. The novel opens with two old men fighting over anything and everything that comes along. But it is soon apparent that they are the best of friends. And by the end of the story their friendship is brought full circle by the telling of Zohar's story. For Sefer Zohar wants all the world to hear of his sadness and his love. The Fox-girl's story must not simply go away. But Zohar cannot bear to write it himself, so his old friend sets out to tell of Zohar and the Fox-girl within a book of splendor.

Virgin Envy
Author: Jonathan A. Allan
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 1786990377
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Virginity is of concern here, that is its utter messiness. At once valuable and detrimental, normative and deviant, undesirable and enviable. Virginity and its loss hold tremendous cultural significance. For many, female virginity is still a universally accepted condition, something that is somehow bound to the hymen, whereas male virginity is almost as elusive as the G-spot: we know it's there, it’s just we have a harder time finding it. Of course boys are virgins, queers are virgins, some people reclaim their virginities, and others reject virginity from the get go. So what if we agree to forget the hymen all together? Might we start to see the instability of terms like untouched, pure, or innocent? Might we question the act of sex, the very notion of relational sexuality? After all, for many people it is the sexual acts they don’t do, or don’t want to do, that carry the most abundant emotional clout. Virgin Envy is a collection of essays that look past the vestal virgins and beyond Joan of Arc. From medieval to present-day literature, the output of HBO, Bollywood, and the films of Abdellah Taïa or Derek Jarman to the virginity testing of politically active women in Tahrir Square, the writers here explore the concept of virginity in today’s world to show that ultimately virginity is a site around which our most basic beliefs about sexuality are confronted, and from which we can come to understand some of our most basic anxieties, paranoias, fears, and desires.
